New to PES series, I SUCK.

[eatingcereal]

Hello. I've had this game about 2 weeks now and played at least 30 matches in exhibition. I play on the average setting. Not too easy, not too hard. I have never been able to win a game. Sometimes I will lose 0-3 but most of the time I can keep it close.

If I go 30 games without a win I must be doing something wrong. I always use Italy and play against Brazil. They hold possession about 60% of the time. When on offense, a lot of my passes go to the other team instead of mine. Even when I kick it directly to my own player, a guy from Brazil runs up and steals it before I can even touch it.

The tactic I use on offense is mostly to sprint down the open sideline and then kick it towards the middle, and pray that my teammate gets it. if he does I go for a shot.

What am I doing wrong?

Lol, sorry, but I can really imagine that being said in an American accent. Reminds me of the American commentating for Boston on Soccer AM.

In answer to your question (to make my post worthy :doh, switch it up a bit as the computer will adapt to your style of play. Also, try playing against someone other than the best team on the game seeing as you can never win. :mellow:

Try to press the r2 button after passing this will make the passer make a run which will draw the defensive team and open up the field a little more.

If you pass to your teammates, try get the ball by running on oncoming ball

Practice, practice, practice. Just go to training mode, and practice everything there. Passing, Shooting, Free kicks. But when you play a game, you shouldn't run down the wing. You should draw, the opposition to you and try and play round them, sometimes. Because "The Opposition cant score, unless they have possesion".

where are these options located with the new version? i have been playing the past few years but cannot score or posses the ball for the life of me. any tips for master league or do i just have to wait out the garbage on my team?

where can i find these training options? i only get options for set plays and 11 v 1. i know i can make it full field, but what is the point if i can't even string 3 passes in a row together?

go to the training menu and set formation. you can change participation and replace players. press the select button and you can switch sides to the cpu. there you can select which players to participate.

if you want to move players from your training squad to the cpu side, simply press replace and treat it like a substitution, your players will switch sides.

if you want to play against 4 defenders and a keeper, just select those players to participate. the possibilities are endless =D
